Finally, recommendations were given that Teachers should learn from this study and be conversant with the differences and similarities in the word structures of the two languages. This is because the study will help the teacher to detect where to encounter problems. If such problems are not properly outlined, the learner is liable to commit errors in the English language. Teachers should emphasize teaching the differences where problems are arising using assorted prepared and improvised instructional materials and methods carefully chosen for planning and the development of actual classroom teaching of the target language. The use of oral drills and practices that are based on the English language word formation processes emphasizing how to surmount the negative transfer emanating from the Hausa language should be employed. ...Preview Download Preview +Other English project topics and materials you might be interested in»Factors affecting the choice of language in a multilingual society»Stylistic analysis of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s half of a yellow sun»Corruption and victimization in isidore okpewhotides and anthony abaghas children of oloibiri»Political corruption and symbolism in Adichie Chimamanda Ngozi’s half of a yellow sun and Okey Ndibe’s arrows of rain»The society and the girl child in the bluest eye by Toni Morrison and Kaine Agary's yellow yellow»A stylistic analysis of selected short stories in jasper Onuekwusi's the triumphant return and Chimamanda Adichie's - A Thing Around Your Neck»Struggle and survival in a cowrie of hope by Binwell Sinyangwe and the Cardinals by Bessie Head»The language of the Christian religion: A comparative study of roman catholic church and some selected pentecostal denominations»The post colonial experiences in warsan shire’s selected poems - ‘what we own’, ‘conversation about home (at the deportation centre)’ and ‘beauty’»The effect of the Nigerian Pidgin English on the academic performance of university students in Nigeria - a case study of National Open University of Nigeria students in Benin study centre»The misuse of the English articles in selected Nigerian newspapers»Linguistic stylistic analysis of Toni Morrison Sula»Feminism in African novels - a study of Amma Sarkos beyond the horizon and faceless»Analysis of political corruption and underdevelopment in harvest of corruption by Frank Ogodo Ogbeche and naira has no gender by Olu Obafemi»Thematic analysis of Besie Head's When Rain Clouds Gather
